Future Tense: A Vibecoding Experience for Educators

After 3+ years of AI panels and predictions, most people still haven't experienced the technology in a way that makes the stakes visceral. This hands-on workshop changes that. Participants will "vibe code"--building functional software through conversation with AI, no technical background required. You'll create your first learning tool in 10 minutes, iterate with peers, and leave with a working prototype. We'll close by exploring what this means for the future of learning and the future of work: What happens when anyone can build software? What skills matter when routine tasks get automated? Less philosophizing, more co-creating.
